Chassis lube

[chvythndr]

Got something in the mail from the dealership the other day stating that my Z is in need of a chassis lube.  What is this, where do I lube, what do I lube with?  Thx.

Crap, is that the chassis lube?  I paid them $20 to do it the 1st time.  Thats pretty sad - i can install a suspension lift and a body lift and do all sorts of work on my truck, but i paid them to grease the zerks.  Man, im an idiot!  hehe

haha i paid them $11 once because i didnt have time and was lazy

It costs me $24.95 to get it done...  (but that includes an oil change too!!! )

Better than my Subaru.  $125 (albeit it's for a 15k maintenance thing).  For the price, they change the air filter, the oil/oil filter, rotate the tires, and "lube the chassis" which, after further research is simply lubing the door hinges.  Apparently there's not chassis lube points on my Outback *shrug*.  

 

I figure I'll save $122.  $3 in beer ain't bad.

I suggest you keep an eye on the upper ones.  They're not so easy to get to and I think the service guys often just skip them.

Some have replaced zerks to make them easier to reach.  I just swapped a 90 degree for 1 of my stocks this weekend.

I hear that. The grease zerk on the top of the idler arm should be replaced w/ a 6mm 90 degree fitting to make greasing MUUUUUCH easier. All the others are pretty to get to.

Havent' looked at mine yet, but if there are 11 for the 4x4. How many are for the 2 wd?'s And if less which ones do I not have when i look to due this to mine.

 

Thanks
